The first
ever use of plant-based polyethylene in carton packaging further strengthens
Tetra Pak’s renewability credentials, nudging still higher the average 73% of
renewable material used to manufacture the company’s broad portfolio. Over time,
as the company increasingly adopts plant-based plastics, it expects to be able
to offer a carton range that is 100% renewable.

The green
polyethylene has been developed by Braskem, Brazil’s largest petrochemical
company, and is made out of sugar cane derivatives, which are polymerized in
plastics for cap production.

Tetra Pak is the world's leading
food processing and packaging solutions company, providing safe, innovative and
environmentally sound products that each day meet the needs of hundreds of
millions of people in more than 170 countries around the world.
